Good thing we're better film makers than we are German language professors.

We did not want the word "Die" in our title for obvious reasons, so we went with the translation "of the fascination" or at least thats what the google machine told us.

Thanks for watching!

I am tired of the California-is-awesome-and-I-am-rich- and-own-a-Porsche Petrolicious-style documentaries. I need to do a down and dirty, Midwest version with beat up, driven 911s. Perhaps that subset does not exist anymore because people obsess over paint depth and detailing.

That culture is dying out just because of the large increases of value in these cars. The middle-class enthusiasts/tinkerers/hackers are being shut out due to the high price of entry. Its becoming rich man territory, and as a result the amount of hot rodding and customization is dropping, preservation is becoming the game at hand. If there is hot rodding, its now typically high end and to get to some period-correct version of a limited edition vehicle.

Nice previews though, it will be good to see the end product!

Cheers,

Mike

Correct, but just doesn't sound as good to Americans. I get why it was done that way and I am German.

I caught the Speedy episode. Looked good! I'm always amazed at the ability of the drones these days.

Love it. At least we need a "down and dirty 993" pic thread to balance things out.

Man- that was like getting a whiff of delicious food when you are starving- can't wait to check it out. Speaking of which, is it out!?

The first four are now "live".

First one I watched. (Hi Karen!! )

Great film, loved it! I'm sure much work went into that video. It shows and made for some really incredible footage. Agree: Porsche missed out by not making a 993 Speedster. We have you and J to thank for realizing the best model Porsche never made. (Second place, in case you're wondering, might be the '93 Boxster concept ) IMO.

+1 on the drones - they got some amazing footage in these short films. (Although I'm sure hours of footage didn't make the cut!)

Looking forward to the next four. Is this capped at eight films or are there more eventually?

I think you need to watch the series. It wasn't shot exclusively in California, and I believe you'll be presently surprised. We look forward to hearing your feedback.

Also, thanks for the kind words from those of you who have seen them. We plan on publishing one a week for 12 weeks in season 1.

Great series so far.

Can you please direct me to the source of soundtrack in the trailer?

Many thanks,
Ben
